Players Choice Players Choice is a game inspired by Pong arcade hit and its variations. The particularity of this version released by PMC Electronics is, as the name indicates, to offer two different games in one arcade cabinet : Blue Line and Boss. Both can be played by 2 or 4 players using the knobs of the control panel.

Blue Line
This one is classicaly a simple hockey game for 2 or 4 players. Each team/player must send the ball in the opponnent goal.

Boss
This one is a direct copy of Elimination (Kee Games, 1973) / Quadra Pong (Atari, 1974). It's an elimination type game. Each player (2 or 4) defend its own goal field and have 4 "lives" represented as 4 dots along the boundaries of the playfield. Each time a goal is scored the related player looses 1 life. When he has no lives left, he's game over. And so on, until there's only one player left...[source: old-computer.cpm]
